If you’re dreading tackling a pile of ironing then you'll find the Corby Trouser Press 7700 White an absolute Godsend. For a start you don’t need to stand up; the Fastpress can be set up on any table.

Thanks to the pressure-sensitive handle you only need a light touch to press any garment; the press does all the hard work. It doesn’t require water either: the combination of a Teflon-coated heating plate, 46kg of pressure and a large ironing surface (62 x 25cm) means it can iron sheets and duvets quickly and easily. In fact it can deal with layers of fabric at a time, so you don’t even need to turn them over.

There’s also a cuff and sleeve pad for ironing work shirts. Its variable heating control (1500W - 1640W) means it’s suitable for many types of fabric. And there’s an electronic warning cut-off system in case the temperature becomes too high.
